Welcome to Summerdown School

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to warmly welcome you to Summerdown School and the Southfield Centre. 

We are an all through school for pupils from Early years to Secondary with autism and learning disabilities and in our Southfield centre, pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities and complex medical needs. 

We are very proud of our specialist setting in which every child is valued, respected and celebrated. Our bespoke and aspirational curriculum focuses on developing our pupils’ communication, independence and functional skills in preparation for their next destinations and future lives, offering accreditation and qualifications from Year 9. 

We value our partnerships with parents and carers and believe that only by working collaboratively, can we achieve the best outcomes for our pupils.  

Our dedicated and highly skilled staff work in close partnership with families, therapists, and wider professionals to create personalised learning experiences that inspire confidence and independence. Whether through academic learning, life skills, or therapeutic support, our goal is always to empower each learner to achieve their full potential. 

We offer a wealth of exciting opportunities for our pupils so that they can learn, have fun and make contributions to a wider community.    

Please further explore our website to find out more about our approach, our ethos, and the amazing achievements of our pupils. If you would like to visit us or learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we would be delighted to welcome you.
